Wherefore, hearken, O my people, which are of the house of Israel,

and give ear unto my words;

for because the words of Isaiah are not plain unto you,

nevertheless they are plain unto all those that are filled with the spirit of prophecy.

But I give unto you a prophecy, according to the spirit which is in me;

like unto them,

and when that day shall come that they shall believe in Christ,

But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of Hosts,

that I know all their works.

For shall the work say of him that made it,

he made me not?

Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it,

he had no understanding?
